TERRITORIAL ADMISSION.
A Report Favoring Statehood fol
Washington and Montana.

A Report Favoring Statehood for
Washington and NJ fontana.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The report by
Chairman Hill recommending the admis-
sion of Washington and Montana starts out
with proposition that may give Dakota
people great satisfaction. Mr.. Hill says
the precedents established by congress regu-
lating the admission OF new states into the
Union have been governed by the ratio of
representation for members of congress.
The present ratio is 152. 600. If these pre-
cedentS are followed. then it would seem
that the only inquiry necessary to be made
is whether the territory seeking admission
into the Union possesses a population equal
to the congressional ratio. For Washing
ton the only data of population is
the last election. On this basis Mr.. Hill
gives the territory 10000 population.
There has been no census taken OF Mon
tana territory since 1880, but the rapid i'll
crease Of the population of the territory can
be nearly determined by the vote cast by its
citizens at the elections held for delegate to
congress in 1854 and 1856. According to
these the territory has population of 151,-
472, and when the large non-voting pOpula
tion of the territory, engaged in mining at
places remote from voting precincts, is taken
into consideration, and also the large num-
Der of persons who have not resided in the
territory long enough to attain citizenship.
it would seem that Montana contains Il
larger population than the ratio of repre-
sentation in congress. The financial con-
dition of the territory is admirably shown
by an extract from the governors recent
message showing the condition of the
treasury. The total receipts for the two
years ending Dec. 81. 1886, were 1854, 132,
and the balance in the treasury Jan. l, 1887,
SIS, 237. The rate of taxation is about fifteen
mills on the dollar. This estimate does not
embrace the great mining interests of the
territory, which are exempt from taxation
under the law. nor include the 1000 miles
of railroad in successful operation. 1t is
fair to conclude that the total valuation of
assessable property in Montana is not far
from 500, 600, 900. The total exports of
Montana in 1855 of gold, silver, copper,
lead, beef and wool amounted to S26, 400
600. This included rs, 900 head of beef
cattle and 600. 600 pounds of wool. There
are in the territory twenty eight banking
houses and thirtyone newspapers. The
committee recommends. that the bill orig
inally intended only for Washington be
amended to include Montana, and that the
constitutions of the proposed states of
Washington and Montana be submitted to
congress, instead of the president of the
United States, as provided for in the bill.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-At a modest esti-
mate 1, 500 men. without any hair on their
heads, walked up the steps leading to the
Madison Street theater, this evening at s
o'clock, to see Victoria LOTUS troupe of
British Blondes. They retraced their steps
few moments afterwards and on their
faces We're palpable signs of disgust. Vic
torla didn't appear, neither did the blondes.
and unless the breach is soon patched up
there Will be many vacant StomachS in
the company. The story of the trouble, as
given by Mr.. Robinson, of the trm of Sack
ett IL Wiggins, is as follows: Hannah &
Hogg, the lessees of the house. sub-let it to
Sackett & Wggins. Subsequently they
told the manager that James Z. Walsh, the
owner of the building, objected to the pro-
posed British Blonde show as indecent. and
asked them to give up the show or the lease.
The management agreed to cancel the en-
gagement with the troupe if Han
nah d Hogg would assume the
liabilities. which promised to be large
This Mr.. Hannah and his partner refused
to do The managers then announced their
determination to 20 on with the show.
This afternoon Hannah Il Hogg sent in a
force of men TO take forcible possession OF
the house. They found. however, that a
squad Of Pinkerton men were on duty in
side, and after an Intellectual attempt to
storm the place beat retreat. But the
show had to be stopped at all hazards.
The responsibility of the house would be
criticized were the blondes allowed to dis
pert themselves, and to prevent
such an occurrence an injunction was
asked for and issued. You can't

he announced his intention of carrying his
case to Rome upon an appeal, and claiming
that under the canoncial law sentence is

some three or four of his adherents to whom
he announced intention of taking focible
possession of the church. This he at
tempted to do, when he was confronted by
Rev. Watery, who warned him that he
would enter the church at his peril, and de-
clared that sooner than permit the mockery
of a service by Vaudry, he would spill his
own blood upon the sacred altar. Vaudry
undertook to enter. when Watery warned
HIM that he would shoot him if he per-
sisted. The police then interfered and
prevented further trouble. The case against
Rev. Watery was promptly dismissed by
the court. Rev. Vaudry and John Hughes,
hotelkeeper with whom Vaudry is stop
ping, have been arrested on charge of en-
tering the church and feloniously taking
therefrom the Bible and a number of altar
trinkets. The examination of their cases
were continued and they were each put
under bonds to appear and answer.

NINA IN WAX.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Thousands have
gazed upon a wax model of Miss Van
Zandt, the would-be Mrs. Spies, at ten
cent museum near Clark street, within the
past four days, but it has vanished like
dream. The knowing ones say that it is in
a pawn shop. The uproar caused by the
exhibition of the model in the Van Zandt
household was somewhat loud when Nina
heard of it. Sunday she went into spasms,
but as she couldn't get out an Injunction
then she grew angry. She was told that
the model had on silks. seal skin
SacQue and glass diamonds, but she
still remained morose. This afternoon the an
archists' lawyers were before Judge. They
| were in perturbed state of mind and nos
at all communicative to their friends the re-
porters. They told the judge they wanted
an injunction issued against the museum
men, prohibiting further exhibition of the
model. The judge issued all Injunction
merely upon the representations of the law
yerS. One attorney was very indignant.
He said it was improper and illegal to dis
play figure of any person to the public
gaze IN such manner as was presented the
wax model OF Miss Van Zandt. You have
right" said he, Ito control picture as
merchant to control trade. In the present
state of the public mind the placing of Miss
Van ZandtS statue on exhibition is simply
shocking" The proprietor of the museum
was disposing of admission tickets to the
show, when a deputy sheriff, Mr. Van
Zandt and Spies brother passed the en-
trance. The injunction was quietly served
and in brief time rubber coat covered
the sylphlike form from mortal view. A
German. at one time connected with Tus-
saud's exhibition in London, made the
model. Upon the head is a Cleveland hat
trimmed with an ostrich feather. The
hair is coled and done up high on the head.
From the ears depend solitaire two-carat
| diamonds. Other features of the costume
are patent leather boots and black kid
gloves. The following inventory of the
figure is furnished by Mr.. Epstien: Dia-
monds, $3. 200; sealskin, 81, 400; accessories,
$500; wax figure, $500; total. 200.
